The first step towards pain relief with the use of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) or Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation is to get a comprehensive evaluation by a Physician who specializes in surgically implanted stimulators. Only a Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) or Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulator Surgical Implanter is the appropriate Physician to determine if a patient may or may not be a good candidate for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) or Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation treatment of chronic pain.

After a successful trial, you would then be a candidate to have the system surgically implanted. Both procedures are done on an outpatient basis generally.
